I’m Amy — a leadership strategist with over 20 years of experience leading teams, navigating complex change, and coaching high-performing professionals across Fortune 500 financial institutions and global brands.
On paper, I had what many professionals strive for: stability, recognition, meaningful work, and a track record of success. Like most of us in our midlife, I also carried an invisible weight that no promotion or achievement could fix.
Like many high-performing leaders, I was so focused on holding everything together that I missed the warning signs: the fatigue I couldn’t shake, a mind that never switched off, constant tension in my body, and a growing sense of disconnection from the life I was working so hard to build.
I had unknowingly slipped into survival mode. And I stayed there for many years.
For me, it wasn’t a dramatic collapse, but a slow, undeniable erosion of energy, joy, and clarity. A health scare during the pandemic cracked everything open. I was diagnosed with GIST, a rare form of cancer that affects only about 1 in 100,000 people. It was unexpected…yet strangely illuminating.
Beneath the surface, I had been operating on fear, pressure, and inherited beliefs.
“Push through, no matter what.”
“This is what “hard work” is supposed to be”
“Falling behind isn’t an option”
Even as I coached others, supported teams, and built high-performing cultures, I was out of sync with my own truth. And that disconnect eventually caught up with me, physically and emotionally.
It wasn’t just burnout. I’d built a version of success that no longer fit. That moment forced a deeper kind of reset.
I started unpacking the layers: how my upbringing, cross-cultural identity, and years in fast-paced, high-pressure environement shaped the way I interacted with the world.
I began to reconnect with what actually energizes me. To lead in a way that feels clear, honest, and sustainable.
It wasn’t easy. But it changed everything.
You’ve followed the rules, and built a version of success that should feel good — but it doesn’t.
If you're due for a reset, or questioning what's next, I'll work with you to clear the noise, unlearn your real self, and redefine your success.
There is another way.
